Abstract
⺠13% of college students reported nonmedical prescription drug use. ⺠Suicidality significantly increased odds of any nonmedical prescription drug use. ⺠Nonmedical prescription painkiller use was the greatest correlate to suicidality. ⺠Females appear to be at greatest risk. ⺠Students may be self-medicating with prescription medications.
